Bradv Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Looks like someone is having fun this weekend! Thanks! However, don't stop there... Let's see some fireworks!!
Cudaguy Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Jeff, Is there an option to set a preference? In the A10 shots is the speed in knots/mph/kmh? Thanx, Cuda
Jetson Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Hello MadJeff; Screen shots look good, very nice effects !! Looks like it will be a good Sim when it is released to the General Public. Can't wait !!! Thank You for posting all of the info from this Sim !! Cheers..............................................................................Jetson

Yojimbo Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 I'll Say One Thing.Every Damge Pic i have seen.. the Damage Part you can see a line where the Damage overlay is. sorta like its not completely transparent.. where? were u flying this 1 jeff? (bet it was a bitch to fly after that damage ;))
Trident Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 He probably wasn't, it says 'Pilot2' not 'Me' in the info bar. Might have been his wingie. I love the damaged tail-cone in this shot!
+MadJeff Posted August 11, 2003 Author Posted August 11, 2003 Rgr that, it was an AI pilot. Damage most definately effects your flight however, as I've experienced quite a bit yesterday Purely for experimental reason, not because of stupid flying...
GreatGold Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Hey - About the damage. Are there only a specific few visiual damage graphics per aircraft, or are they created in a dynamic way. What I mean by this is, lets say you get hit by a SAM, after the 20th time that happens will the damage you actually see on the aircraft have been repeated. or does it change every time you get hit. Thanks, Gold
Inferno Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 I doubt there is dynamic damage in the way there is in a WWII sim.
+Dave Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 I should have taken that pic of the F-15 with the tail damage. You could see the honeycomb techinque used in its construction. Very good damage detail.
Trident Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 As a matter of fact not even FB's damage-model is 'dynamic'. If you get hit on say, your right wing by a single bullet the damage-textures which will appear are always the same (for a particular aircraft). What makes FB so great (and Flanker2 and LOMAC :) ) is that there's no hit-bubble (the collision-model corresponds more or less to the visual shape) and that there are so many degrees of damage for so many different aircraft parts. That, and the fact that only parts which were actually 'hit' are affected, not a random selection of parts/systems. I'm not sure if LOMAC offers the same large number of possibilities for damage compared to FB (bullet-penetration? :shock: ), but the basic technology is the same.
